Psychological trauma refers to the level of exposure during catastrophic events, including wars, sexual assault, earthquakes, etc. After experiencing, witnessing, or encountering these catastrophic events, we will experience varying degrees of emotional reactions such as fear, helplessness, or shock. This study will start with the post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) of college students and analyze the positive impact of ideological and political education concepts on students’ psychological resilience.

This study divided 120 PSTD college students who were affected by earthquake disasters into two groups, each consisting of 60 people. The experimental group received traditional psychological resilience positive emotion regulation therapy, while the control group received life cognitive therapy in ideological and political education based on traditional psychological resilience positive emotion regulation therapy. The study was measured using the Connor Davidson resilience scale (CD RISC).

The experimental results showed that the experimental group of college students experienced fewer PTSD symptoms and more positive emotions than the control group of college students.

In summary, the experimental group of college students showed a weakened tendency towards automatic processing of earthquake-related words (earthquake disaster words, earthquake rescue words), while experiencing more positive emotions and implicit biases; In the process of cognitive and emotional regulation, the experimental group of college students more effectively used cognitive reappraisal strategies to regulate their cognition and emotional processing of earthquake trauma.
